It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I know that is not cool. However, life happened. So this post is all about what I’ve been up to since I last shared anything with you. From winter school break trips to matron of honor duties to bucket list trips, I’ve been busy. Planning everything out in advance via my google calendar for easy access has made keeping it all straight easy.
Winter School Break
I took my daughter and grandkids to Wilderness at the Smokies in February. We chose the resort because it is only a 3 hour drive from my daughter’s home and was a great way to “get away” for 3 days for some fun. My grandson and I played black light putt putt golf together, played in the indoor waterpark, and challenged each other in the arcade. While my granddaughter is still too young to appreciate the magic of such a place, I still enjoyed spending time with her and watching my daughter play with her in the wave pool.
I’m the Matron of Honor
After getting home from spending time with my favorite people, I had to get serious about helping my friend with her wedding. To be more specific, as the Matron of Honor, I needed to plan a bachelorette event. The problem was/is, my friend travels a great deal and nailing down a weekend she had free was almost impossible. After she finally gave me some dates, I set up a weekend at Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, VA. The weekend included massages, spa treatments, good food, and a champagne toast in my room. The hotel and spa staff were absolutely amazing and some of the most courteous and friendly people I’ve ever met.
Bucket List Planning
After those two trips, it was time to get serious about planning a “bucket list” trip and creating a plan to get in shape for that particular trip. To that end, I booked a trip to see the Aurora Borealis via Alaska Rail. The website has several options for tours, but I want to see the Northern Lights at their best, so I will going in January 2027. More to come about that in future posts. I also joined a gym and have had two session with a personal trainer. I will be sharing my the journey of getting stronger in future posts as well.
As of today, thing are pretty much back to normal. And after the wedding, which is next week, I will readjust my schedule to include a more consistent work out routine and blog posting while still traveling to see some shows on Broadway, visit family, and take a couple of getaway trip with my Hunny Bun.
